My favourite games of 2005 go as followed:
5) Burnout 3: Take-down (Playstation 2)
A supremely fun racing arcade title that truley delivers a sense of speed.
4) Champions of Norrath: Realms of Everquest (Playstation 2)
Five classes and enormous world provide replay value. Now only if it had just a few touch-ups...
3) Fable (X-Box)
This game delivered. It provided an astonishing world that seemed alive. The enemies you fought were unique and this RPG never ceases to surprise.
2) Halo 2 (X-Box)
Although very similar to the original Halo 2 is amazingly different. Some things stand out in this one while great things about the original do not. I had sort've mixed feelings after I finished but this truly is an amazing shooter.
1) Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Playstation 2)
An amazing achievement. My favourite of the series. Jaw-dropping sequences near the end provide a very proper ending to one of the most fantastic games I've ever played. GAME OF THE YEAR.
My next entry will include scores of all the games I played during 2004 for the first time. Even games I had never played before and came out in previous years will be on there. I have delayed the top-ten of all-time for a future date.

My Collection and Game Preferences
by LegendaryAce on Comments
Primarily composed of original Playstation games because that was my first system and continues to be. Since the PS2 came out I've bought at least ten older playstation games and have gotten more out them. I like the original Playstation the most because it has four very solid rpg's (FF7, FF8, FF9 and Chrono Cross). My personal favourite game of all-time is Final Fantasy VII simply because it is why I am playing games right now. It is what started my infatuation for games. The original playstation also supports a variety of platformers and at the age of ten I just couldn't get enough of them. Spyro and Crash seem to my favourites and the new platformers that ND and Insomniac have created are nearly on par with these classics. The Playstation also has another personal favourite, the original Metal Gear Solid and the original playstation also has a few classic SNES rpgs ie. FF4, FF5, FF6 and CT. As you may already tell I do enjoy RPG's.
But enough of the oldies and classics. Well this certainly today would be considered a classic. Only one real PC game sticks out in my mind. I never really got into all the shooters (UT and Half-Life) but Starcraft and this RTS genre really stood out when I laid my eyes on it. I had never seen anything like it before. I've put so many hours in B.Net it's despicable. Anyway; that's the only true PC game I really ever got into.
Now onto this gen; After I played around on B.Net and my original playstation for two more years after PS2's release I finally got one for Christmas. Now my collection has slowly expanded and now own a small but epic collection. Now finally into my mid-teens I got a job. Money; finally! I wanted to really get into the PC gaming again. After what starcraft did to me I really wanted to find games like it. So my friend who was a big PC-gamer let me try out a few games. I was realy interested in Neverwinter Nights and Warcraft 3. But after playing them it felt stale and I was growing sort've tired of these genres. So in November of 2004 I decided on getting an X-Box. Got myself Halo and KotOR (although an rpg but friend owned the pc version and said it was incredible). And well that's that. I'm really looking forward to 2005 where I plan to nearly double my collection and get the X-Box 2.
I enjoy:
RPG's
Shooters
Platformers
RTS's
Unfortunately I never really got into Nintendo. Not until recently have I been interested in getting an old N64 and picking up a few games like OOT which I hear is epic. Anyway...

The First Entry...
by LegendaryAce on Comments
For my first entry I would just like to display some of my favourite games from certain genres. This year has been a wonderful year for games and next year looks just as good. I hope to have another entry showing my top ten favourite games of 2004 by the end of January. Other entries detailing observations of experiences in games may come soon as well. I hope by sometime in February I will be able to reveal a top ten of all time. Soon I will have reviews up(as soon as I reach level six) and I will plan to base it on my own scheme of rating while following the one used by Gamespot.
